Mini roses cake

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

I had an extra hunk of cake leftover from my calculator cake (below) so I decided to decorate it for fun.  This cake is only about 4.5″x4.5″ and about 2″ tall.  Fondant covered and ribbon around the base.  These are some gumpaste roses I made previously.

I created this cake for my husband’s co-worker.  He was in charge of bringing a cake of some sort for an office b-day celebration for her.  She’s an accountant and this is what I came up with!  He helped me figure out some details on how we would do it.   Here’s the result!  Its about 8″ wide & 12″ long with the icing and about 4″ tall at the top of the back.  Its covered in fondant with fondant “buttons” and a fondant/gumpaste “paper” on top.



Kelsey’s Cake

This cake was made for my little sister for her 17th birthday.  She found the design/graphic below (below cake pics) on the internet and I based the design off this image.  The flowers on top are gumpaste.  Everything else is fondant except the real ribbon around the base of each tier.


Based on this design:

Golf Cake

Here is a cake made for a friend.  The cake is 12×18.  Golf club is made of a fondant/gumpaste mix (as are golf balls).  The writing at the side was something she came up with – the sayings are:  “A little ‘birdie’ told me you’re turning 30″, “You ‘putt’ the ‘tee’ in terrific” and “We think you’re above ‘par’”  Everything is edible except the stick for the pole of the flag.

His and Hers :)

These cakes were made for my sister and her husband for their birthdays.  He’s not a chocolate fan (and the rest of us are!) so I made him a special yellow cake.

First the “hers” design…I based the design on some fabric I saw on a purse.  The choclate icing is buttercream and the strip is fondant.  It didn’t work out perfect but in the end most of the “flaws” are hidden. :)   The design on top is two fold…first it is a replica of the scrolls on the side and secondly it is an S which start’s my sister’s name (Shelly).


And for the “his” cake… her hubby works in construction/home improvement/remodeling.  So he got a “wood” cake with a gumpaste circular saw blade cutting in. :)   The saw blade is painted with a silver shimmer that doesn’t show as much in the photo.  The cake is a 4″ round, fondant covered and painted to get that wood look.
